Educational Studies

Educational training for non-teachers

The Educational Studies major and minor is a non-licensure program. Students completing this major/minor will have the opportunity to complete coursework with Education majors and students enrolled in licensure programs while completing coursework in other areas.

This major supports career exploration for those following a field of study allied with education. This may include:

Students who have a desire to run children's homes

In-home day cares

Healthcare students whose profession involves educating patients and their families

Students who plan to be involved in the ministry of religious education

Individuals who hope to learn how to effectively home school their children

Those who aspire to be college professors

International students who may have different needs when teaching in a different country
